Random Friday

The kids are out of school today. They were also out of school yesterday.  Due to UEA.  Supposedly this is so teachers can go and do additional training and be better teachers.  It sounds like a good idea for no school right? Well that means the munchkins are home and the house is full of other munchkins.  Lots of fun stuff. However, I am starting to be concerned that one of Henry's best little pals, who is actually a girl pal, might have strange powers over him.  Resulting in things like this happening.


Should I be concerned?

On a completely different note.  Sam's last day of wearing braces was last Thursday.  This picture was taken as she was getting ready to walk in to the Ortho's office.
 
What a cute little "brace face." Here is a picture of her today.

What do you think was it worth all that money?  That we are still paying.  That we might be paying until the day we have to pay for her wedding.  Of course maybe with these perfectly straight babies she will marry a rich doctor.  Then it would totally be worth it, right?

That is it for this totally random post, unless you are dying to hear about the potatoes we dug today and how I started planting bulbs and cleaning up the flowers beds in an effort to get ready for winter.  What? You don't want to hear about that? Shocking!!

Happy Friday! Tomorrow is the last Super Soccer Saturday.  What a bummer.:)

Wow what a pretty smile, well worth the money! And poor Henry, I bet Dad wasn't home at that time. :)

She got her braces off so early? Holy cow! I was in high school. Lucky girl! They look great!

I think you have some blackmail with that nail painting picture. Now we know the secret of why he'll be the best behaved teenager on the block.

Thanks for the link to the Country Doctor's Wife. I loved her post. Last year G-Force (yes we do call him that... among other things) was at our tiny neighborhood public school. The personal attention he recieved was amazing. This year he is in a huge school, in the ghetto (really, it is in a terrible part of town), in a specialized program and he is still thriving.

The school you send your child to is not half as important as YOUR involvement in the child's education, and life in general.

By YOUR, I of course mean parental involvement in general.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
